MALCOLM SPARKES 1882 - ??  

support

Malcolm was a maker of architectural woodwork in Rochdale, social reformer and CO sentenced to 23 months hard labour in Wormwood Scrubs and Wandsworth prisons. In April 1918 Lord Parmoor, quoted in Hansard, said: ‘…Mr Malcolm Sparkes, who is really the author of the much praised Whitley Report [on the Relations of Employers and Employees]…is a writer and investigator of great eminence, and even while in prison has been consulted by the Government in reference to this report… He has already suffered 16 months of solitary confinement in prison. We are not so rich in men of that kind that we can afford to waste them in such a manner’.
